Bitcoin ETFs Fuel Market Growth
Additionally, the success of Bitcoin ETFs is also shoring up Bitcoin’s growth. Since its launch in January, BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF, the iShares Bitcoin Trust, or IBIT, has been leading the ETF race.
A chart of Bitcoin ETF trading volumes from January to November 2024 shows a series of periods with heightened activity, the most remarkable spike in early March, which saw trading volume more than double to over $12 billion.
As shown by CoinGlass data, the latest figures indicate that volumes once again picked up, with the number reaching $7.96 billion on November 12, which is a good indication of renewed investor confidence in the instruments.
Considering Bitcoin ETFs, IBIT stands out as the most actively traded fund, accounting for $4.65 billion of trading volume. Other popular ETFs, like FBTC and GBTC, are close in terms of spread, with volumes at $1.05 billion and $718.78 million, respectively.
